You can do this by creating multiple zones with these names, so for you example, you would _not_ create an example.com zone, you would create a zone for server.example.com and put in an A record at the apex. This way you can override/add names under example.com but have your resolving server follow the normal resolution path and talk to the example.com auth servers for other names under example.com, e.g., lookups for www.example.com. This can cause problems though, if the example.com authoritative server uses/references any of the names you want to override (like as the target of an MX record), then the view from your perspective will look different and may have unintended consequences. Just think it through and test if you're not sure. And don't forget about what you've done when it comes time to troubleshoot a problem in 6 months!
